    Hey guys, I had to factory reset my Astec fusion alarm as it was causing issues. I re programmed the zones under "Zone Types" but not, when the alarm is armed and a zone is opened the system is not recognising that the zone was opened. No wiring was changed in the panel. Is there a setting I could have forgotten?

    I literally went to the zones section, set each zone back to either entry/exit or alarm


    Thanks
    D

    Are you sure this is an Astec system you have?
    Zone types are not set up like that on Astec.
    If its Aritech then by default zone 1 is entry exit & 2-6 are alarm.
    If you are using shock sensors on zone 1 - 4 the gross 7 pulse will need to be programmed. By default they will be set at 0-0 which is off.

    Yep 100% sure. It's an Astec Fusion.

    Here is the steps I have taken. (Pictures in dropbox link below)

    Step 1) Enter Engineer Mode:
    2) Go to "Zone" Menu
    3) Go to "Setup Zones"
    4) Program each zone to it's type.

    (The way the original installer had them)

    Did I miss something? I think it's setup the way it should be.

    Sorry, missed the fusion bit in the first post.:o Was at Keith Barry last night, I think my brain was hacked.:D

    Is the zone hardware set up correctly? end of line or Astec System Devices?
    Are you checking these devices with full alarm activations or walk test?
    There is a setting to turn on bells for walk test?
    Also are the internal and external bells set up correctly ? Global or Astec bells?

    Haha, that's a good excuse!

    As far as I know, they are end of line, the bells are global. They work fine.

    Tested strobe, external and internal. All OK.

    What should I put under Zone hardware if they are global devices?

    Here's a pic of the shock and a pir, might give you a idea.

    I tried with a walk test and full arm, still no joy on both :(

    The PiRs appear to be standard so they would be set according to the end of line resistors used,if any .
    If all your window/door sensors are like that the zone hardware need to be set as Astec.

    Koolkid, you are a legend!

    It's fixed now. I forgot the zone hardware part!

    Thank you so much!
